About Hunting Hitler’s Secret Weapon: The ‘Black Baron’ Tank Commander
Michael Wittmann was considered as one of the greatest Nazi tank commanders of WW2. Having served in the Battle of Kursk he was redeployed to Normandy soon after the D-Day landings. Receiving The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross from Hitler himself, Wittmann was considered a cult hero with the Nazi propaganda machine embellishing his already well known achievements. SS Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann was clearly one of the Nazis' greatest tank aces, but controversy has raged for 60 years as to which unit killed him. In this video, Norm Christie attempts to solve this mystery.
